[VU+ Duo] Accessing windows shares

[showboat]

Hi, i was following the guide here, but it's out of date.

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?15974-How-To-Setting-up-Windows-Network-Share

Can anyone help me out? There is no longer an option to do the following, CIFS is not listed....

Then on your Vu+ box

1. menu > setup > system > Network > Mount Manager
2. Add a new network mount point
3. Active - yes
local share name - nas (you can call it anything you like)
mount type - CIFS share
server IP - (enter PC IP here)
server share - /vu (make sure you include the /)
username - vu
password - vu
4.Press OK

What type of mount should i add instead of CIFS?

I should also add i am on version 2.4.
When i was on v2.2 i tried this before and think i may have ballsed up some of the settings as i get this when i click on plugins:

CIFS is there in 2.4, when you upgraded from 2.2 did you do a backup restore by any chance

Yeah, i restored from backup..... Is there any easy way to get it back without losing my sats and channels?

 

[Maxwell]

Then thats why you have a corrupt image now, there are explicit instructions in the release threads not to do that
Anyway you can use Dreambox edit to save your channels to your pc and send them back to your box afterwards, if you are unsure of tuner settings I suggest you write them down before the reflash
